Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Banking (Special Provisions) Bill.
Banking (Special Provisions) Bill
I am not sure what the Minister is saying. If there was an accountant’s report prepared for the bidders, of course it was done for that purpose. But why should it not be available for sight by the taxpayers who are going to have to stump up the money for this business? We are buying a pig in a poke.
